Wont boot off of SATA drives

Hey all,

Finally go right PW and everything is hooked up, BIOS boots, start loading Win XP Pro, goes to reboot, and then continues to try to boot off of the CD even when the order is harddisk twice, then CD.

I even take the win xp cd out and it still tries to boot off of the CD. When I go into BIOS, to the Standard BIOS Features, it shows SATA 3/4 under the Internal Phy SATA, but not SATA 1/2. But weird thing is my two drives are plugged into SATA 1/2. It shows the CD rom there, but not the drives. I have cleared CMOS several times. Should I just try with one drive then add the other? I want to RAID 10 them, but perhaps I should add that afterwards. Perhaps the BIOS version I have is bad? Its what came with it, 4.78.

Any thoughts?
 
I'm sorry.. I cannot help as I dont see your system from where I stand, so I have no clue about the components and specification that could have helped me, and the other to troubleshoot that...
 
Raid TEN? I thought there was only raid 0 and 1.
I can't see your sig man, I think you might have some sort of option "Allow Others to see My Signature" set to Off. (Not even sure if that option exists).

There's a Raid 1+0 or (10) as well as Raid 0+1 (or 01). My guess is he's trying to do 1+0
